How to unlock the Observe the Grenade achievement in Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard - Definitive Guide

This achievement requires you to kill 3 testers, in the purple suits, with a single grenadelauncher shot. I tried several times during the last boss battle, but couldn't get it to work.

The strategy I used was in the room just before the final boss fight. There will be a purple and a red guy. Shoot the red guy and some more will spawn. You will now have 3 purple guys and a yellow in the room. Kill the yellow guy and now you just have to get the purple guys to stand together. My strategy was to stand on the left bookcase end from where you enter the room, and then the purple dudes ended up standing behind the counter. Then I simply aimed for the middle guy, and bang achievement unlocked in my first attempt.

Good luck on the hardest achievement in this game :-)

This was mostly the solution I used, but not quite. It'll still likely take several tries even doing it this way. Also, it doesn't have to be a single grenade, but it does have to happen in very quick succession. Fire several grenades at them as fast as you can. Personally I managed to kill 2 with one and a third immediately after.

I found this solution to be the best. To add to this I got lucky, I lobbed 4 grenades on the ground and it got all 3 of them and I got the achievement. I guess you dont have to get them all with the same blast. Thanks Shreik.

Thanks for the guide! I used the your method but added to it. When there were 3 testers left, I killed one of them and more enemies spawned. I killed all of the red and yellow enemies and this left me with 4 testers. I couldn't get them grouped together so I just unloaded 4 grenade shots at all of them. It was a mess but my achievement unlocked!

The achievement seems to be more along the lines of "kill three testers in a second" than "kill three testers with one grenade". But whatever works for you!

pretty much one of the most satisfying achieves in the game if not the most because it will probably be your last achieve so you can be done with the game.

This works great, just got to give it a few tries until the enemies go in the right spots. Checkpoint is the beginning of that room so just keep killing yourself until you get it right :)

FINALLY I got that achievement.
THX for the guide, I just shot the red and yellow guys and finally I had 5 pink "Ramgers" in the libary. Then I just run a bit and 4 of them stand as a group.

Another spot is when you first meet the testers, hide behind the statue in the center. Wellsley (or whoever he is) will hide behind a statue to the right and two more will spawn and hide there as well, it takes luck, and yours is better, but this is a good chance.

Nice one!!! Worked a treat!
Just to clarify for those having difficulty -
If you're standing at the end of the book case my guys were positioned at 10, 11 & 12 on a clock face with the other end of the book case being 12. The guys at 10 & 11 were on the "Reception Desk" looking thing. Pick up the power up in the corner, take cover on the end of the book case and wait until they're all out of cover and scoping up at you before you shoot the one in the middle.

Great tip! Gets the thumbs up from me!
It took several tries to get it right, and when I got it I died and it popped right after. I think picking up the Maximum hazard upgrade helped a little.

Took me a hour but it worked. Stupid testers always ran to the back so I had to run back there and shoot back towards the shelf.

This shit is impossibly on Maximum Hazard....Maybe could have got it at the boss fight, but after I gave up in the room I shot all my grenades in a fit of rage and didn't have any going into the last fight......Now I gotta do the level over again...*sigh* Xbox just froze during my second run through, going to bed lol

If you kill the red guy followed by the yellow guy to get 3 purple testers, Then kill one of those... followed by a couple more red guys it's possible to have 5 purple testers in that area all at the same time which makes grouping them together so much easier.

After trying this method for over two hours, shooting them and coaxing them around, 3 testers, 4 testers, multiple grenades, single grenades, max power, fire upgrade . . etc etc. I finally mistakenly killed them all and moved to the boss area.

I was forced to follow MoonDoggie's guide, and although it took a load of attempts because I didn't know exactly where he tells you to go, it worked after about 15 minutes of frustration.

So I would recommend that if you can't get those stupid AI bitches to group together, EVER! Just move on to the boss area, it's much easier smile

super annoying. seems like it has to be the purple guys, but if you pick up the powerup then they do not need to be standing super close together.

I wasn't able to get this spot to work after many attempts. I went to the final boss part 3 when they have 3 purple guys out. The only way I could get them close to me was by shooting the cover until they grouped up on one together

This method is what worked for me.

I had made endless attempts at this, killing the red dude, then the yellow chick, leaving three purple ones. That's the easy part - the really hard part is managing to herd them together into a pack, preferably behind the middle wall inside the counter. They usually wouldn't go in there, instead just sticking to one place and not moving from it. And even if I approached them, they would just approach me in turn and attempt a melee.

Well, I got fed up with it, but in the end I did manage to get them to the right side of the counter (entrance-wise, with the hallway beside it) and approached from around the left of the wall, lobbing all my grenades at them after picking up the powerup. Each grenade killed a seperate enemy and the achievement popped.

I can therefore confirm that you DO NOT have to kill them all in one explosion, but rather within a very short timeframe.

To add to this strategy, I followed this method and got the achievement. There is also a max hazard pickup to the left as you enter the door. I cleared the red guy, the purple guy went behind the bookcase, I then killed the yellow guy, then grabbed the max hazard pick up and planted myself against the left side of the bookcase. They were near the desk and right side of the bookcase, I ran at the guy at the desk and then backed away, he ran towards the other 2, I then shot and killed all 3. Hopefully this may help anyone as well. Thanks for the help Shreik.

Ferrara is correct! As soon as the cut scene ends on the second terminal, three testers come out. Sprint immediately to the sand bag in front of you. For some reason it causes them to group in front of you to the right.

Been using the other guide for the previous room with no luck whatsoever for over 2 hours, then I moved onto the boss area. As soon as I knew where you meant by the sandbags, this is a synch, got it after 3 tries (but about 10 fails of running around destroying cover).

As soon as you spawn, equip your Grenade Launcher, and run down the steps and past the first lighting cover, it looks like the three Testers that spawn all intend on taking cover closer than the sandbags in front of you, so if you kind of run towards them, they will have to quickly relocate, in that confusion the first two will be together, wait about 2-3 seconds for the third to pop up the stairs behind and bang!

Good luck toast

For this achievement, you have to kill three purple suited guys (The testers) with one grenade launcher grenade. This is actually really easy, but at the same time could be hard.


The best place to get the achievement is during Phase 3 of the final "boss" battle, the last boss will summon 3+ Purple suited tester guys. Wait until they get close together (bunched up, they do it often on easy difficulty), and pop a grenade in between them. If you kill all three, the achievement will unlock, if not, let them kill you and try again.

Damn, this achievement is so hard. Spent over 2hours trying this and trying the part before this in the liabary and they never bunch together. Sucks only being at 985 might one day get this.

@Lodoss Inderos... If the achievement is "actually really easy" why do you not have it?

If anybody is having problems getting them to line up I shot the covers until they grouped up on the same one and shot a grenade right in the middle. This was on the third part of the final boss

Testers are the pink enemies found on the final level. The best place for this trophy is in the room directly before the final boss, where you fight a group of enemies, half testers, in a small area.

There's a trick to this that make's this trophy WAY easier than usual, that I found while on my THIRD run of the game (twice on the 360 version, once on PS3).

If you use the flame power with the grenade launcher, the grenades will explode on contact with anything, AND set enemies affected by it on fire. As far as I was able to tell (trophy popped too fast for me to really test), Testers killed by the fire still count for this trophy, even if you weaken them with other weapons. So, in that final room, kill all other enemies and wait for three testers to be close together. Fire the flame powered grenade where it will hit all three, and if the first shot doesn't work, fire one or more shots. Like I said, the trophy popped before I could test it, so you may have to do some testing of your own to find something that works. But with the flame power up, I don't think it'll take too long. :3
